Now that we're home from our little vacation we are back to work full force. We have a book deadline in a few short weeks and a very long to-do list! I'm more than happy to get back into my work groove, though! I love it. Writing a photography book is one of the best things that's ever happened to my photography, now I can't stop snapping photos of anything and everything. It's become a habit and so we thought it would be fun to introduce a new little summertime feature where we share random snapshots from real life. Life is beautiful! xoxo. elsie
Ps. All of these photos were taken at my home... just random snapshots from today! Emma bought me a baby cactus a couple weeks ago. The embroidered art is vintage and the mug shot poster is from Larken on Etsy. I'm lovin' Beach House this week!:D




Thanks for sharing! Can't wait till your book comes out! :)

Your dog is so sweet! That look on it's face...
I'm thinking of getting a dog myself. Not sure yet. Your book will definitely turn out great!

I showed my boyfriend the pictures of your puppy curled up in the heart blanket a few posts ago and we both died of cuteness <3
